Is there a particular brand I should be looking for? I'm heading out there in a bit and I thought I'd give a new brand a whirl

Before you buy a Costco sized pack of any of the allergy meds you should give them all a whirl and see what works for you. Certain people swear by loratidine, others by fexofenadine, but my wife and I have found cetirizine to be more effective for us. You want some kind of second generation antihistamine, people tend to respond a little differently to each of them.

My wife gets sneezy and stuffy in the springtime and uses Reactine, and said Claritin was not as good.

But yeah should probably try em each out to see what works best for you before getting a big rear end crate.

Yeah, I didn't wanna bust out any big ol' bottles. I've been using allegra for a while, but it feels like the stuff isn't as effective unless there's a decongestant attached to it. I'd rather not be slamming those down every time I've got itchy eyes.

Yes, but the Kirkland Allergy medicine is on sale until this weekend so you should buy one of each, keep them unopened and return the others once you figure out which one works best for you.

I was pushing my cart back to the vehicle, my fiance was a few paces ahead.

Costco: making human connections in bulk

Man the bar for human connection gets lower every year. "this one guy made a bad joke about my cart in the parking lot, really felt close to that dude"

As I type this on an internet comedy forum. Thousands of posts into an uncaring void of fiber optic light, or darkness, who knows which but never a human face to been seen in the shadows or the light.

Look it's bulk human connection at a good price. It's not the finest available on the market but it is of adequate quality and represents a value just like everything else at Costco. PBUC!

If you want Sudafed then buy some drat Sudafed: don't buy a pill that mixes it with an antihistamine.
Claritin works better if you eat it every day for a few days and you probably don't need to be taking 120mg of Sudafed every morning. Just take a 30mg pill as needed instead.

If you need to take Sudafed, take Primatine instead unless you’re a pussy and are afraid that your heart will explode.

I stopped in for a few things the other night around 7pm and there were scant sample tables present, which is fine at that time on a Tuesday. The only one I tried were some lemoncello almonds which were off-puttingly artifical tasting, so avoid at all costs.

What’s the good olive oil to buy? There was a discussion a while back and the consensus seemed to be “not Italian”, “cold pressed”. But was there a specific oil that you all have found to be the best?

I swing by Costco before work and accidentally bought the Kirkland Organic Italian Olive Oil. When I reached my car I read the label on the back and it’s s blend of maybe 6 different countries or regions.
